I have updated the project to .NET 8, addressing the dependency update requirement. Below are the updates and next steps for my planned contributions:

• [x] Updated to .NET 8:

• [ ] Basic Gallery with Upload, View, and Editing via Cloudinary:

  • I am planning to implement a basic image gallery where users can:
    • Upload images to Cloudinary.
    • View images in a gallery interface.
    • Edit images (resize, crop, etc.) using Cloudinary's transformation features.
  • The UI will follow the Blazor Quick Start project design.

• [ ] Advanced Use Cases:

  • I’ll add advanced examples showcasing:
    • Cloudinary's image optimization and transformations.
    • Additional media management features (videos, etc.), if relevant.

• [ ] Improved Documentation

Let me know if this plan aligns with the direction of the project. Once approved, I’ll proceed with implementing these features.
